I waited on years to come and wash it out that heavy bottle feels so good something to drown my doubt and though i see it, i just got to leave it a sinking ship for us to weekend down to the coast and we're not coming back home no, i don't wanna go i don't wanna change at all i don't wanna lose your call liquid dreams they're bursting at the seems and no one wants to tell the truth till you twist their arm and setting fire to the wishing well i'll sound the alarm and though i see it, i just got to leave it a sinking ship for us to weekend down to the coast and we're not coming back home no, i don't wanna go i don't wanna change at all i don't wanna lose your call liquid dreams we're bursting at the seems you say, you can taste it right on the tip of your tongue i know, i look so stupid trying to save everyone

Fast Boy 03:29

The Curse 04:15
oh i know, i might have shown it all with my cards on the table you're staring from the wall you stood to speak the words would creep out your skull but there's no hope now already spinning out of control oh i know, i don't have to say it anymore i don't have to wait for your pretty cure pacing out beside the lake tonight with two broken hands we reached up for the sky the ghosts would weep at dreams so bleak and cold and for once in my life i just wanna know, where this road goes oh i know, i don't have to say it anymore i don't have to wait for your pretty cure we both know, we're not gonna make it out alive just gotta get up and try your old friends have died, its the curse the worst you've known

Carousel 03:46
you helped me exercise my demons in the dusky bedroom evening i know, i might yeah, i might of been wrong but it don't take a profit to sing a song in my dreams, last night i saw you hemming and hawing with desperate attitude i watched you dissolve beneath the carousel light a weakened scar to wake up your fight wake me up when i get to old to breathe tell me that it's alright to go home and sleep all of my lovers have gone and died so i'll be saying my sweet sweet goodbyes oh where'd you go when all of this stops, i can't let go all my lovers have gone and died so i'll be saying my sweet sweet goodbye brace for the waters there coming quick your heart my stuttered as the wave hits and now i'm drowning in this talk layed down by the willow in the park

Heavy Minds 03:53
keep your hands where i can see them i know that you've got some plans two of us just lonely lovers asleep on burning sand i can make it, all alright so call the ghosts what you will got alot to do to fix this mess i can feel your bright eyes calling me heavy minds, under duress i can make it, all allright just try, oh why fear holds my lips back and one more time for the attack looking for a distraction to keep us alive something with a little more action so what should i do with myself got a crush that's taking me down just want to hold you closely some love, lost and found i can make it, all alright and everybody's staring daggers with arms folded, they won't last so let me know just how you really feel the machine's worn and cracked i can make it, all alright just try, oh why fear holds my lips back and one more time for the attack looking for a distraction to keep us alive something with a little more action fear holds my lips back and one more time for the attack looking for a distraction to keep us alive something with a little more action a little more action a little more, a little more, a little more

Ghost Town 03:51
Wait, i don't wanna lose this yet the pace, it quickens with every breath the streets, the schools, the woods where we used to run now we are a dying star, headed for the sun ride around, ride around ghost town, ghost town stay beautiful like you were back then fate, keeps rushing in to begin bombs will drop from up above, as we watch on the lawn bearing down, to melt the faces of the ones we love ride around, ride around ghost town, ghost town they told us all to fight the war but we weren't having it their bombs and swords and guns would break as we called it quits
